we really didn't deserve The Good Place. a bizarrely high-budget sitcom telling a longform, highly conceptual story that you need to have been watching from episode one, which was allowed to play out at its own pace and wrap things up when it intended to, and it didn't even lose steam over its four seasons. that's practically proof of the existence of a loving god

you have to be able to defend people who are receiving unjust treatment even if they annoy you even if you personally find them extremely annoying you still have to be able to stand up and say "well thats fucked up"

what is an RSS feed and why does AO3 have them?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and the word syndication here is referring to broadcasting or transferring or otherwise sharing information. I first encountered it as a way to aggregate all of the news sites and blogs I wanted to read that were scattered all over the internet.

You might already be familiar with tumblr blogs that start with ao3feed - these are automated blogs that create a new post every time a work is posted in the feed(s) that they track. You can follow those tumblr blogs and learn about new works that way. They've subscribed to the RSS feed so that you don't have to.

If you wish that you could get push notifications from AO3 on your phone instead? The RSS feed will allow you to do that. You just need to get an account with an RSS reader first. Here are a few that are free:

Feedly 

NewsBlur 

Inoreader 

They each have slightly different features, so depending on the search and filter options you want or how you like your information displayed, you might like one better than the others. All three work on the web, on iOS, and on Android.

Once you have a feed reader, tap on the RSS Feed button at the top of the tag results page that you want to get notifications for and open up the XML file. If it downloads instead, try opening in a new tab or just copying the link address. You'll want to grab a url that looks like this: https://archiveofourown.org/tags/9835/feed.atom (this is the url for Kirk/Spock, if you're curious)

That feed.atom ending on the url is what you're looking for. When you open your RSS reader and create a new feed, you can use that url to set it up.

Once it's set up, you'll be able to see everything currently available in that tab, listed out in your reader. Just like the ao3feed tumblr blogs, the reader will show you the title, author, summary and tags for each fic, and then it will provide you with a link to read the work on AO3.

It will also notify you every time a new work is posted to that tag. You can adjust your notifications to suit you.

Not every tag on AO3 has an RSS feed, but it's worth checking out if you've never tried it before.

Editing to add: the AO3 FAQ also talks about these feeds

Hello Bruce, please take a seat. It's all right, just sit. I just wanted to ask you some questions.

This isn't an ambush, Bruce, I just want to understand what happened two nights ago between you and--

I'm afraid that won't fly, Bruce. You've been accused of seriously injuring one of your teammates, and from what I'm told, this isn't the first incident. How long have you been harassing Green Lantern for? Yes, harassing. That's not what I'm hearing, Bruce. Bruce, you--Bruce! What's wrong with you?

Okay, I'm sorry for yelling. Lets start from the beginning. Can you tell me what happened two nights ago?

Green Lantern has every right to enter Gotham, it's not your private kingdom. Furthermore, he was in pursuit of a dangerous criminal wanted for murder in multiple sectors. Yes, Bruce, in this case Gotham is in his jurisdiction, given that Gotham is on Earth and Earth is in his sector. No, I would not mind if he showed up in Metropolis. Why? Because he is my colleague and my friend. I'm going to ignore that. He's a good man, Bruce, and--

I don't like bullies, Bruce.

I spoke to Nightwing, and he told me--yes I know who Nightwing is, Bruce--Bruce, I helped Dick come up with his identity, it's from Kryptonian legend, how could I possibly not know who Nightwing is? Bruce, I've known him since he was eight, just because he changed his costume doesn't mean I can't recognize him. Bruce, you're not making any sense.

Listen, we're getting off-topic. You sprayed Green Lantern in the face with yellow paint. That's not--that's not even how the impurity works, don't you remember when he turned into Parallax? Yes you do. Yes you do. Fine, then I'll remind you. The source of the yellow impurity was the emotional entity Parallax, which existed in the Central Power Battery on Oa. When Hal was possessed by it, the impurity vanished. Decades ago, Bruce. For someone who prides himself on knowing everyone's secrets--

Bruce, you don't have the authority to ground me, I'm a forty year old man.

You could have permanently blinded him. You know he requires his eyesight for his job as a pilot, right? You could have ruined his life. Given the other things I'm hearing, I'm starting to wondering if that was your intention. I had no idea you had been harassing him to such an extent. I'm honestly ashamed of you right now.

Did you know attacking an officer of the Green Lantern Corps is a violation of intergalactic law? Hal has very kindly said he's willing not to bring formal charges if the Justice League holds a tribunal, but I want to emphasize that he could have made this a lot worse for you--I really don't see why you're laughing, Bruce, you could have done permanent damage. The corps could put you in a sciencell if he wanted and the League would have no jurisdiction to stop them.

Frankly, Bruce, given your behavior right now, I don't think I would.

He's not interested in your money, Bruce, this is about your conduct, not medical bills. Those have been handled.

That is none of your concern.

Okay, I'm taking you to the Fortress to get your brain scanned, this has gone too far. I don't know who you are right now, but I don't like him.

Also, what's this I'm hearing about no metahumans allowed in Gotham? Bruce, that's hideously bigoted and it doesn't even make sense.

I've been gone for long enough that I'm scared to look into the Hal Jordan tag. I know the bat stans are running unchecked ruining everything for everyone

fuck it. sharing parts of wips, we ball:

whump/sick Hal wip

In a daze he gets to the bathroom. It feels like five hours have passed. He's winded, breathing heavily through his nose, and he lets himself fall on the toilet seat because his knees are about to give out. A million and one things go through his mind at that moment. As he's looking at his hands gripping onto the sink, knuckles white, wrists shaking, he's got a scream stuck in the back of his throat where he’s keeping in all the coughs he's trying to swallow. He's. He's a hero, an active hero, a Green Lantern, he's stronger than anyone, he's unstoppable. He's survived death. He's survived the army. He's a god damned veteran.

And yet here he is, unable to catch his breath from walking to the bathroom. Unable to catch his breath in general. His throat—it closes around nothing and it's pure instinct what makes him open his mouth to try and inhale. That's a mistake, of course, because as soon as he does he's hacking out his lungs, coughing and coughing and coughing until that's all he is, all he can do and can be aware of. He can't—he can't breathe. He can't breathe. He can't he can't he can't—

guyhal amnesia/one night stand/omegaverse wip:

The dream's haunting him. There's no other way to describe what's happening to him. He's having the same dream, over and over, and it's haunting him. It doesn't even make sense. The things happening in the dream don't, the dream itself doesn't.

Guy crosses his arms over his chest, sliding his ass forward until it's almost dangling off the chair, and his legs are fully stretched out in front of him. He's taking up more space than he should or needs to, but he doesn't care too much about that. No one seems to care, really, as they clock in hour number two in the meeting about sectors, overreach of jurisdiction, rookies and...

Next to him, Jordan's left knee jumps up and down in a fast rhythm. His arms are crossed as well, and even with the mask firmly on Guy can tell he's bored out of his mind, too. Someone somewhere says something about fraternization among the members of the corps. Guy can't help it when he snorts. Hal's knee comes to a stop.

dishonorable mention: stuck in wall fic with Hal as protagonist

[wajjs]

whenever I look at titans lineups I'm always going like "where's the actually gorgeous one!!!!" because 5 times out of 6 Garth is not there

[wajjs]

I think Arthur would get better and improve as a person if he gets fucked in the ass so hard it reconfigures his whole nervous system

[wajjs]

he's the guy pals. trust

[wajjs]

in Venditti's run Sinestro successfully kills Hal, and he looks like he's experiencing a mix of surprise, fear and pain--instead of being excited or happy over finally killing Hal. Which just means they're each other's universe and they do not actually want each other dead. that's just their risky kink that they overindulge on in front of everyone.

halbarry adjacent fic that no one will write and it sure as hell won't ever leave my wips folder:

hal and eobard fuck when eobard is pretending to be barry. hal is ecstatic, thinking barry is giving him a chance. eobard does it because he assumed barry and hal were already fucking. have been for a long time.

neither of them are right.
